#393 How to close the know-do gap

THE SQUIGGLY CAREER
About this episode

This week, Helen and Sarah talk about the knowing-doing gap. This is when you know what you should, could or want to do but you still don't take the action that you need to. They discuss how this gap can create cognitive dissonance and lead to us feeling frustrated at work. To close the gap, they share practical ways you can change your behaviour, work through your blockers and get closer to the outcomes you want.
